max-specpdl-size errors.

[ I'm _NOT_ subscribed, please observe MFT ] I know that c.e.x would be a better forum for this, but my INN has gone belly up. :-( The error: "Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size" is giving me grief with one of my projects. What does it mean? What causes it? How can I debug it? What on earth is "specpdl" an abbreviation of? It certainly isn't a word in any language I know. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: A94B3003>---| | Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. | | The proof of the pudding, is under the crust. | |------------------------------&lt;sryoungs(a)bigpond.net.au&gt;---|
